How about a show of hands here? I still don't really get why so many Latins hate on Oscar. Like this article I just read. This is supposed to be a LATINO magazine and they're calling Oscar a "chicken boy". And I hear it all the time from people. To me it just seems like too many haters, maybe jealous of his success or who knows. But for me all i can say is GO OSCAR! knock Manny out!;D
Most mexicans i know including myself are rooting for Pacquiao actually. im rooting for Pac because im a fan of his while most of my friends and family are rooting for Pac because they either think DLH is a fake or because he ducked Margarito for Pac.
If he wanted to prove himself he'd have fought Margarito you hit the nail on the head its only about money for him Pacquiao the money is a bonus his doing is for his people & the glory & honour of winning id love to see him win would set up a good fight with Hatton there styles would be good well as DLHs wouldn't make a great fight with Hatton.

the margatards are a ****ing disgrace...i like margo, but he has the most stupid fans ever....
hell people hating on hoya for this fight are delusional in blaming hoya for this fight, since no one forced pacquiao........in fact pacquiao had the chance to back down form "the humiliation" of accepting 70-30....they also cant see 99% of fighters do this for money(including "Warriors" like margarito...LMAO)......and they are not realistic about hoya's real status in boxing......a part time fighter with 3 fights in 4 years with a record of 2-1 who paid his dues when he was a relevant fighter(unlike "warriors" like margarito now...lmao)
people should be grateful.......this fight is single handedly making HBO boxing profitable......
DLH is making hbo profitable :thumbup:

Correction.
Pac did turned down the 30% offer but DelaHoya wanted the mdiget so bad he raised it to 35% plus some PPV shares.
People are just haters saying he's picking on a small fighter. Oscar has fought bigger fighters before so how is he a coward? If he retires without fighting the margarito/mosley winner then his reputation takes a small hit but not a significant one. Before he retires oscar will fight a credible welterweight again such as marg, cotto, or mosley.

they've been diagnosed with the same disease that the opponents of ewing's hoyas had.
"hoya paranoia".

people need to get over that margarito should have gotten the chance shit.margarito has unfinished business with williams.he god damn well knows he needs to clear the entire path of threats before he's blessed with the opportunity to face oscar.oscar is fighting manny because he's number 1 p4p.it makes the most business sense.we're talking about boxing here, in this day and age.this is not golf or tennis in popularity.oscar doesn't owe anyone anything.
he's fought plenty of great fighters.
margarito just proves he's like very other fighter he claimed ducked him.
If by a miracle Oscar should lose, he will retire. If Oscar prevails, expect Oscar to take on Tony in Sept of 09, Oscar does not have a history of ducking, so all these new and hardcore margarito fans should just chill and wait.
okay, but...
well i can see why some people have a problem with him fighting a smaller man but even before this fight I sense alot of oscar hate. and as far as all the boricuas who are saying they support ms. pac man, well I'm not surprised. they're prob the same ones that are still upset about margarito beating cotto.
I'm Hispanic and I'm not really rooting for either guy, I just hope I see fireworks and then some.
My family is about 50/50, some are goin for Manny and some are goin for Oscar - it really has nothing to do with ethnicity.
Here in Arecibo, Puerto Rico.. The people are rooting for Pacquiao. But few people are interested in this fight we only pay it to see Juanma and then celebrating his KO victory con una jienda cabrona
Oddly enough that's why i got it as well it cost me 22 euro to get it i think JML is going to be brill hopes he becomes a Legend with all ye're greats im from a small country so we will be rooting for him should be very proud of the fighters ye have produced for an island nation like ourselfs best of luck look forward to him & Caballero it'll be a defining fight for him & will make him a super star & restore some Puerto Rican pride after Cottos defeat.
Respect
margarito would fight pacman in an instant, people need to get a reality check, he would take the fight and the millions.
How is Manny more Mexican than Oscar????????? That's liek saying George bush is more Nigerian than Sam Peter,fail!

he should be fighting Margarito instead of pickin on a former 115 pounder. thats why people hate him now. he's taking the easy way out like a b!tch. pacman is more mexican than oscar

I'm neutral.i see this for what it is, a money fight.that's all it is, win or lose, both fighters are getting paid.there's very little at stake here.no one with half a brain thinks oscar is going to lose.it ain't happening.and manny losing to oscar doesn't do much to his standing in boxing, considering he's pretty much a natural lightweight.this is Oscar's natural weight class.no matter what anyone tells you.yeah he started at superfeather, but even his managers said they tried to keep him at a low weight so he could rack up ko's.welter is his home, lightweight is where manny should be.
Couldn't Agree More!
Me too if he were fighting someone like Hatton or Mayweather they be proud to root for him but everyone ive talk to hopes Pacquiao wins me included
